My favorite scene in the film, and arguably the most important.
Posting the things that strike me.

@JVicktory send da links to my youtube inbox, but the use of the image if not an accident it is certanly a stupidity as many satanic rituals like the honorius where words like Gog and Magog are used... i mean.. if you just know the meaning of something and you see it being used in something where it doesn't fits...food for thought!

@WhiskasBoy, cont. Compare the woodcut from the film with the classic image of the Whore of Babylon on Wikipedia or Albrecht Duhrer’s woodcut image of the whore, for 2 examples (there are MANY more). I tried to hyperlink these images into my comment, but YouTube won’t allow that, so you will have to search yourself. Polanski certainly was aware of images like these even if you are not. His use of the image was not an accident.

@WhiskasBoy: I have read Revelation. Whether your (and the currently "in vogue") interpretation of Revelation is correct that the whore of Babylon represents a nation, is irrelevant to the film and its images. What is relevant is that the film image matches both what is written in Revelation and how artists have depicted the whore of Babylon over the ages. The description of the whore of Babylon is as follows (Rev 17): "...woman sitting on a scarlet beast...having seven heads and ten horns"

@JVicktory what a load of crap, is pretty obvius that the "whore of Babylon" is the symbolism of a NATION, being more specific a nation like the USA.. just check the book of revelations dude :)

@maddingo12 i looked it up and apparently she is not the devil but actually a witch who is in the service of the devil. If you remember near the beginning, Bulkan was giving a lecture to ppl about witches in service to the devil

@osei1977 If you ask for a sequel, you didn't get the movie in the first place.

Perhaps in the book it is clearly explained that the girl is intended to be Lucifer. However, in the movie I think it is more ambiguous and open to interpretation, even if Polanski himself said he intended her to be LCF. The final woodcut clearly shows her as the Whore of Babylon, which may or may not equate to Lucifer also in the universe of the film. Do a google image search on Whore of Babylon and you'll see lots of very similar images. There are several Archetypes at play in this movie.

In the book that the movie was heavily based on, she was the devil.
The devil disguised itself as an attractive woman to lure him.
